Barring the Tampa D/ST scoring 30.89 pts. ChipWasRight will be 4-4. After riding high starting 2-0 with the highest point total, ChipWasRight had a 4 game slid filled with injuries. Still battling through it all the CMC chess piece appears to finally be ready. Right now in the last playoff spot. But everyone else sucks in this league and we will stomp them.

Time to create some plays that take advantage of Hurts’ talents. He is a rookie and will be susceptible to gaffes but Wentz is no better. He turned the ball over four times last night. How could a rookie do worse?

"Curse of Bobby Layne

In 1958, the defending NFL champion Lions traded Layne to the Pittsburgh Steelers in early October for Earl Morrall and two draft choices.[16][17][18] Layne responded to the trade by supposedly saying that the Lions would "not win for 50 years."[29] This story has been called a hoax, particularly because the quote was never published at the time.[30]

Over the next half-century after the trade, the Lions accumulated one of the worst winning percentages of any team in the NFL. The Lions had no playoff wins in almost 35 years, back to back losing seasons and being swept by divisions constantly, they were 1–10 in postseason appearances; their lone playoff win came against Dallas following the 1991 regular season. In the last year of the supposed curse in 2008, the Lions were 0-16. As for the Steelers, they also won the Super Bowl that year and their previous appearance in Detroit in 2006 which they also won, they became one of the most dominant teams in the NFL winning six Super Bowls: 1974 (IX), 1975 (X), 1978 (XIII), 1979 (XIV), 2005 (XL), 2008 (XLIII) [31]

In the 2009 NFL Draft, right after the curse supposedly expired, the Detroit Lions selected University of Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford first overall. Stafford was an alumnus of Layne's former school Highland Park High School and also lived in a house on the same street as Layne's.[32] In the 2011 season, Stafford's first full injury-free season, he led the Lions to their first playoff berth since 1999, but lost to fellow Texan Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. Also, in the 60 years since the curse, the Lions also endured multiple playoff droughts lasting more than 6 years, including the year of the trade, the Lions did not make the playoffs in 12 consecutive seasons. (1958–1969; 1984–1990; 1971–1981; 2000–2010)."

Someone said I was MIA. Well I’ve been here off and on and yes Carson stunk it up last night. He deserves the criticism. It was a win but it really didn’t feel like it. Obviously he still tries to do to much. It’s frustrating for sure. But he’s family and I will stick by him until he retires from the game. Many wish that would be today and it is what it is

Eagles play to their competition.They can beat the best, or lose to the worst.I like Wentz and think he’s got some unfair criticism throughout his career, but he was bad last night.I think he needs a sports psychologist after Foles won the SB.That must be rough.Pederson I am undecided on.He seems like a good leader who the players believe in but his play calling has left a lot to be desired outside of 2017.The stars aligned that year
